FAQS

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SPORTS MASSAGE SESSION?

For an initial sports massage a physical assessment will need to be completed prior to commencement of treatment. A minimum of 1 hour will be necessary for the first booking. Further subsequent sessions can be booked for any duration. If you can complete the PAR-Q online prior to attendance this will reduce the initial consultation time..

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?

Avoid drinking any alcohol the day/night before the treatment. Please be showered and clean. Completion of the online PAR-Q is recommended.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

I would recommend loose shorts and for women a sports bra that does not impede access to the shoulders/neck/back (or where the back can be unclasped while they are lying in the face down position).

DOES SPORTS MASSAGE HURT?

Sports massage can be more physical than other types of massage and there is likely to be some soreness and mild bruising the day after treatment. This is perfectly normal. Treatments are bespoke to the individual and pressure will be modified dependent on the individuals requirements and feedback.

ARE THERE ANYTHING THAT WILL PRECLUDE ME FOR TREATMENT?

Please seek doctors advice if you are unsure in regards to your suitability due to medical reasons.
Certain skin conditions such as ringworm will make you unsuitable to attend. You will be asked to leave if you are found to have any such condition. This is to protect myself and all other clients.

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I ATTEND?

Please be on time but do not show up more than 5 minutes early as I may still be finishing up with a previous client or be otherwise unable to answer the door.

I HAD A SPORTS MASSAGE YESTERDAY AND TODAY I FEEL SORE AND ACHEY. IS THIS NORMAL?

Yes this is perfectly normal. You may feel discomfort for the first 48 hours but it will likely subside before then. You may notice some bruising in certain areas that have been treated. This is also perfectly normal. Some clients wont experience any discomfort at all. It is very much an individual response.

DO YOU PERFORM PRE/POST NATAL MASSAGE

Currently no, but I am looking to undergo this training in the near future and will update my website once i have.

WHERE CAN I PARK?

There is offstreet parking available infront of my address that will comfortably fit 2/3 cars.

CAN I PAY IN CASH?

Yes cash is fine. Cash or card are both accepted.
